Chapter IV: The Message of All the Arts

_a._ All have the same laws:

1. Art is the symbol of completeness in a definite
shape.

2. Is self-expression and self-fulfilment.

3. Must leave out the unimportant.

4. Must have variety and many-sidedness.

5. Must not be partisan, and must be sympathetic.

6. Must give the impression of truth.

7. Must be aloof, that is, separate from life, and see
things, as it were, from a distance, in their wholeness.
